Alberni is short walking distance from all the best hotels, it won't feel any effect from this.

I also wonder if it will shift the concepts of the Alberni locations. Oakridge has the large format stores, could be an opportunity for the more exclusive boutiques on Alberni, prominently located downtown near the luxury hotels.

One of the pianos at Oakridge Park. It seems to be sectioned away to keep people off of it.

They hire a security guard to keep people away from the piano, but won't hire a piano player…

I guess that's the whole point of a player piano it doesn't require someone to play it. Not sure if you are talking about the other Fazioli that was in the mall corridor that had people playing at the grand opening.
